More NHL: | | | | | Poor Alain Vigneault, goalie "controversies" seem to follow him everywhere he goes.When the take the ice on Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets, they will be led onto the ice by , the backup netminder who has N'Keal Harry Jersey been superb in his role since being called up from the AHL. That doesn't seem too weird until you consider that Talbot started the last Rangers' game, too; a 5-2 win over Vigneault's former team, Vancouver.How strange is that? It's the first time since 2011 that rode the pine for consecutive games. Immediately the word controversy hit the lips of many watching the situation, but let's hold the phone. "Cam is playing extremely well," . "Henrik is definitely the No. 1 goaltender on this team. ... For me it's about trying to win one game."There have even been some suggestions that maybe this has to do with Lundqvist's pending free agency and negotiations with the Rangers. Lundqvist doesn't think so.Lundqvist shuts down any discu sion/tie-in not starting tonight and his contract status. Won't talk about it. Andrew Gro s (@AGro sRecord) Fact of the matter is that Talbot has indeed been playing extremely well and has earned David Andrews Jersey the right to get back-to-back starts Jabrill Peppers Jersey . He is 6-1-0 this season with a .944 save percentage and 1.49 GAA, good in anybody's book. The Rangers have a second goalie they are comfortable enough with to occa sionally play the hot hand if it's not Lundqvist's. This is a positive for the Rangers, not a negative.For a few years the Rangers have talked about trying to reduce the number of games Lundqvist plays, Lundqvist has welcomed the same. They would ideally like to have him fresh for the postseason where his numbers haven't always been as good. Having Talbot around and playing so well that he's earning Adrian Phillips Jersey extra starts -- Lundqvist isn't losing them, he's playing well enough -- will help them get to that goal. I don't think many who are being truthful are under the impre sion that Lundqvist is in any danger of losing his net to Talbot. But this is New York we're talking about and the man known as The King in Lundqvist. So when the answer to is "Cam Talbot!" for two straight games, the buzz builds. However it will take more than two consecutive starts before we can even think about entertaining the idea of Lundqvist po sibly being displaced.
